Responsible Fatherhood Program

This comprehensive program is designed for dads and expecting fathers who wish to learn more about responsible fatherhood skills, traits and practices over a three-month program cycle. We focus on strengthening family resiliency, fatherhood involvement, and knowledge about parenting skills. We expose participating fathers to the essential tools needed to successfully care for their child’s financial, and emotional stability. We provide fatherhood resources, services, and educational assistance through our collaborative partners. Lastly, this fatherhood program addresses “Self Care” opportunities that assist participants mentally, spiritually, and emotionally when actively involved in the lives of their children.

About the Healthier Generations (HRSA) Grant Award:

Cobb & Douglas Public Health (CDPH) has been awarded up to $5.5 million over the next five years through a Healthy Start grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The purpose of the grant is to improve health outcomes before, during, and after pregnancy for at-risk populations; and to reduce racial and ethnic infant death disparities and negative health outcomes in the first 18 months of life. The Healthier Generations program is part of the fatherhood initiative and a key objective within the program goals of HRSA.
